Calan Mai hapus i chi! Happy May Day to you all!

Today is a very auspicious day for some of my research (that I'm keeping under wraps for now)- but I can tell you it relates to the term Cadi (analogous to Queer in Welsh- see screenshot below of @geiriadurGPC)

Cadi is a term that has existed in Welsh since the 1600s. Its usage is often vague but over time it has been used to describe effeminate boys, masculine girls and people who would be called Intersex today.

GaySocs in Wales were known as Cymdeithasau Hoyw according to students in Wales in the 80s, however, I have not found any instances of this in print. Despite this, the next times it would appear in a Welsh dictionary are in 1993, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2016 and 2017.

Have you got a Welsh dictionary? Have a see if yours has Hoyw in it! Comment below if it does!

Archived my twitter posts dating back to a year this morning. Hopefully I can preserve them in a blog for posterity- keep an eye out for that when it drops.

In other news- still figuring out this platform- struggling with the discoverability element. That being said, I'm going to keep trying here!
